Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Chapter 74 Negotiations with Butcher

Late at night, on the water off New York.

Butcher waited patiently on the stolen fishing boat. Among the black-robed team, only Huey was with him, and the rest stayed at the base on standby.

In the entire team, Shenhai has only seen Butcher and Huey. Now that he meets Shenhai, it can only be the two of them.

After all, Butcher was still wary of the deep sea.

This is normal, or it's surprising that he didn't take precautions.

Because he never believed in superhumans, even if he cooperated with superhumans, he would definitely be on guard.

The incident with the Lamplighter had happened before, and Butcher didn't want that to happen again.

"I think cooperation should be done with sincerity."

Before the arrival of the deep sea, Huey thought about the cameras Butcher had placed on the ship before and expressed a different opinion:

"There is no way we can be said to be sincere in doing this."

"Huey, let me teach you one more thing, dad. When facing a metahuman, forget all your bullshit etiquette. A metahuman is a metahuman. No matter how kind he appears, he is not worthy of trust at all! "

"But the deep sea is different. He saved me, didn't he? He also let Frankie go, and even saved an entire plane!"

Huey was stubborn.

He is now a die-hard fan of Deep Sea, and feels that Deep Sea is different from the superheroes Butcher mentioned.

Before that, Butcher said that people of the motherland are like saints, they don’t go out to cause trouble, and they don’t kill people casually.

But in Huey's eyes, the same is true for the deep sea.

Huey couldn't find any dirt on the deep sea, and Butcher didn't have much.

If you insist that being intimate with dolphins is considered black material in the deep sea, Huey thinks this is too far-fetched.

At best, that's because XP is weird, not that there's something wrong with the person.

What's wrong with liking dolphins?

Some people also like goats!

Huey defended his idol in his heart.

But after Huey finished speaking, Butcher, who was leaning on the railing, stared at him with a strange look.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

Seeing Butcher looking over, Huey's momentum instantly weakened.

Butcher suddenly laughed, walked up to Huey, patted his cheek and said:

"Huey, Huey, I thought that after what happened with the locomotive and the transparent man, you could let go of your innocence to some extent. It seems that I was wrong. How about this? How about I tell you a story?"

"story……?"

"The story of a goofy squad."

Butcher did not reprimand Huey this time. He backed away, leaned on the railing, recalled, and talked to Huey about the past:

"A long time ago, there was a team that was naive and stupid enough to think that they could cooperate with superhumans, so they found the Lamplighter of the Seven-Man Team and wanted to make the Lamplighter their internal agent.

"The lamplighter agreed, and the cooperation between the two parties was considered pleasant, until one day...

"That son of a bitch the lamplighter burned the squad leader's grandchildren to ashes."

"…Oh, my god."

Butcher is really not good at telling stories. He just condensed the past events into one or two sentences and told Huey.

But even so, Huey was still shocked by what Butcher said.

He knew that the story Butcher was telling now was absolutely true, and that such an incident did happen a long time ago.

Huey was stunned for a long time, and then he asked:

"Then...what happened to the team you mentioned?"

"later?"

Butcher smiled mockingly:

"The cooperation with the lamplighter broke down. The bureau felt it was unsafe and canceled financial support for the team. The team leader quit the team with a cold heart, and the team members dispersed...

"And now, except for the poor captain, everyone else has gathered together again and continues to cooperate with superhumans without a long memory."

When Butcher said this, Huey realized that what Butcher was talking about about the team was what their current black-robed team had experienced.

But there was no Huey yet.

"So, do you still think my arrangement is 'impolite'?"

Butcher asked again, but this time it was not Huey who answered Butcher's question.

"It's a good story, but let's put aside the issue of politeness. At least I won't burn you to ashes like the lamplighter."

The sound came from the shadows of the fishing boat.

Huey was startled by the sudden sound.

He jumped three feet high and quickly distanced himself from the source of the sound, and exclaimed:

"Oh! s**t!!"

"deep sea."

Compared with him, Butcher is much calmer.

He looked at the deep sea where part of the figure was hidden in the darkness, smiled and said hello:

"I thought you were coming in uniform."

While Butcher was speaking, Deep Sea also walked out of the shadows and formally talked face to face with the two of them.

Huey then saw that Deep Sea was indeed not wearing a hero uniform, but a black suit and black-rimmed glasses.

His suit has no tie and the collar is loose and open, giving him the look of a cynical playboy.

This is completely a daily dress, and Shen Hai even disguised himself.

No wonder Butcher asked this.

Facing Butcher's inquiry, Shenhai responded with a smile:

"I also thought you would choose a more private place, so that it suits your style."

"You sound like you know us very well. Besides, isn't this place hidden enough?"

Butcher pointed around the fishing boats.

Apart from the fishing boats sailing here, there are no other people in this sea area.

"Well, if your ship wasn't stolen, it's indeed very hidden."

"What? Did you steal this boat?! I thought it was your own!"

As soon as Deep Sea finished speaking, Huey looked at Butcher with wide eyes.

Butcher said confidently:

"Do you think our team has so much money at its disposal?"

"..."

What Butcher said made sense, but Huey was speechless.

After talking to Huey, Butcher had no intention of paying any more attention to Huey. He looked towards the deep sea and said bluntly:

"I will decide the time and place of the conversation. This was agreed before. I think the location is good, so I chose this place. Is there any problem?"

"The problem...well, a little bit." Shenhai said, suddenly raising his finger in front of him:

"That's why I don't think it's subtle enough."

As Shen Hai finished speaking, the ship's hull suddenly vibrated violently.

Huey and Butcher swayed and almost lost their balance. When they subconsciously held on to the handrail next to them, they saw a surprising scene.

The hull of the ship was sinking slowly, and the water under the ship was rising from the bottom up in defiance of gravity.

They gather and merge in the air to form a huge protective film that protects the entire hull!

Darkness gradually enveloped the fishing boat, leaving only the lights on the fishing boat illuminating everything.

In less than ten seconds, the fishing boat sank completely underwater, and the three people, together with the fishing boat, entered the water below the fishing boat.

Enter the deep sea.

"..."

The water curtain above the 'sky' is full of fantasy, and the fish on both sides of the fishing boat also make people feel like they are in a fantasy world.

In addition to feeling the fear of the deep sea, Huey and Butcher were also deeply shocked by the capabilities of the deep sea.

They never knew, or never thought, that the deep sea had such abilities.

Even if the news did explain how Shenhai saved Flight 37, the two of them had only thought it was the Vought Group's propaganda before that.

In other words, Butcher thought it was the propaganda of the Vought Group. Huey was still willing to believe in the deep sea, but he was later convinced by Butcher.

After all, there seems to be no superhuman being in this world who can control large-scale water flow, fire or electricity.

That does not seem to belong to the realm of humans, that is the realm of God.

As a result, now, the deep sea created a miraculous scene for them right in front of them, which shocked both of them.

Butcher also understood the purpose of Deep Sea's current actions.

This is both a threat and a deterrent.

"Now, it's considered hidden."

As Deep Sea said this, Butcher and Huey felt the fishing boat shake at the same time.

By comparing the swimming fish retreating from both sides, the two knew that the fishing boat was moving rapidly underwater.

Is it possible to still do this...

Butcher was deeply shocked by Deep Sea's ability, but at the same time his heart sank.

Control the water flow to let the fishing boat go deep into the seabed, and even make the underwater fishing boat move at high speed.

This kind of strength is beyond what Butcher can handle!

Cooperation with others is based on equal strength between both parties.

Before that, Butcher thought he could control the deep sea just like other superhuman beings. The many cameras on the ship were all designed to capture images of the deep sea.

Once there is any evil intention in the deep sea, Bucher will immediately spread these images through the Internet.

Of course, he wouldn't actually do it.

The sword was only threatening when he was holding it in his hand. He just wanted to use it to threaten Deep Sea and prevent Deep Sea from acting rashly.

But now...

Butcher had no idea how deep they had dived.

He chose to meet at night, which was a trap for himself, because Butcher could not judge his position by the brightness of the sky.

Anyway...it seems like the cell phone signal is out.

Without signal or network, the camera cannot be uploaded, and Bucher has no way to threaten the deep sea.

Now passive.

It's them.

But after all, it was Billy the Butcher who had been "fighting" with superhumans for many years. Butcher was only slightly shocked in his heart, but still said calmly on the surface:

"It's a good trick. It reminds me of when I used to go to Disneyland."

"Have you ever been to Disney?"

Deep Sea said nothing, but Huey looked at Butcher in surprise.

He really couldn't imagine that the guy next to him, who could easily be regarded as a wanted criminal when walking on the road, had actually been to Disneyland.

Huey really didn't understand the atmosphere when he said this. Butcher's mouth twitched and he glared at Huey.

Huey immediately fell silent and silently retreated behind Butcher, allowing Butcher to communicate with Deep Sea.

After finishing the gossip, Butcher took a deep breath before formally asking:

"So, how do you plan to cooperate with us?"

"You want to deal with the people of the motherland, right?"

"!?"

As soon as Shenhai's words came out of his mouth, Butcher suddenly looked towards Huey.

Huey was looking at him with a confused look on his face. He had no idea why Butcher was looking at him.

Seeing that Huey's blank expression didn't look fake, Butcher also understood that this guy had not told Deep Sea about their news. After thinking about it for a moment, Butcher responded with a smile:

"We just want to deal with Locomotive and avenge the girlfriend next to us. We just want to deal with the motherland and the Seven, just by the way. Don't get me wrong."

"Okay, no need to pretend, William Billy Butcher, I know who you are, and I also know the grudges between you and the people of the motherland. And now, I will tell you how to deal with the people of the motherland. As for whether you want to Listen, that's your problem."

The deep sea said so.

Butcher's heart gradually sank.

He originally thought that Deep Sea's understanding of them was limited, and he just thought they were Huey's friends, so he chose to meet them.

After all, Huey has a feud with Locomotive, and in the Seven, competition is fierce.

It is normal for Deepsea to want to use Huey to attack Locomotive so that it can gain more resources and advantages in the Seven.

But it turns out that the deep sea knows more than Butcher imagined.

This guy opposite...

I'm afraid it will be a more difficult opponent than the people of the motherland.
